Default Icon in the Address Bar

I've always been curious how to put an icon in the address bar of your website, and I finally googled it yesterday. It's ridiculously easy...

1) Create a 16X16px image
2) Save it as "favicon.ico" - must be a .ico image
3) Upload it to your root directory

That's it! Super easy!

Yeah I did this a while back it makes it look more proff IMO for the little time it takes.

Oops - just saw my typo up there & corrected it. The icon needs to be "favicon.ico"

Yeah, I've known about this for quite awhile and did it with a few other websites. Never got around to doing one for the new sites

While we're at it, does anyone know of a good Icon Creator? I used one in High School way back when.. but I can't remember what it was called. It was a like.. Mini-Ms Paint.

I used http://www.rw-designer.com/online_icon_maker.php you can upload your own picture to it and it automatically creates it.

Works great

How do we upload to our root directory if we are REW clients?
